The publication of this little collection
of hymns was undertaken solely to meet
the immediate and pressing demand for
hymn books throughout the church, and
under circumstances utterly forbidding
the hope that the work would be satis-
factory, either to the compiler or the pub-
lic. ‘The selection of the hymns has been
attended to by different individuals for
each sheet as it went to press, without
any systematic arrangement, and the me-
chanical work has been done in distinct
jobs, over a long period of time, as cir-
cumstances would admit. The only
_ apology we offer to the public for thus
getting out the work is, the entire want
of means to do otherwise. The attempt
to raise money by subscription to sustain
the work was a failure. It did not real-
ize one-fourth the expense of the paper.
We hope, and it is all we can hope in the
premises, that this work will answer the
present purpose, until time can be had
to revise and republish in better style and
order a suitable collection for the use of
the saints. :

Nor is provoked in haste,
She lets the present injury die,

She quenches with her tongue ;
Hopes, and believes, and thinks no wl,
Though she endures the wrong.

XVi BAPTISN. P. M.
1 Sarem’s bright King, Jesus by name,
In ancient times to Jordan came
All righteousness to fill;
"T'was there the ancient prophet stood,
Whose name was John, a man of God,
To do his Master’s will.
2 Theholy Jesus did demand
His right to be baptized then,
The prophet gave consent ;
On Jordan’s banks they did appear,
And lo, John and his Master dear,
Then down the bank they went.
3 Down in old Jordan’s rolling stream,
The prophet led the holy Lamb,
And there did him baptize:
Jehovah saw his darling Son,
And was well pleas’d in what he’d done,
And own'd hin from the skies.
26
4. The op’sing heay’n now complies,
The Holy Ghost like lightning flies,
Down from the courts above:
And on the holy heav’nly Lamb,
The Spirit lights and does remain,
In shape like a fair dove.
5 This is my Son, Jehovah cries,
The echoing voice from glory flies,
O, children, hear ye him;
Hark ! ’tis his voice, behold he cries,
Repent, believe, and be baptiz’d,
And wash away your sin.
6 Come, children, come, his voice obey,
Salem’s bright King has mark’d the way,
And has a crown prepar’d ; ;
O then arise and give consent,
Walk in the way that Jesus went,
And have the great reward.
7 Believing children gather round,
And let your cheerful songs abound,

See, here is water, here ig room,

O children, be baptiz’d.
8 Behold, his servant waiting stands,
With willing heart and ready hands
To wait upon the Bride: |
Ye candidates your hearts prepare,
And let us join in solemn pray’r,
Down by the water side.
XVII BOLDNESS OF TRUTH. S. M.
1 Imposrvure shrinks from light,
And dreads the curious eye:

Assured we shal! not search in vain,
But hidden treasures find...

From noxious error guard our creed,
From prejudice our will.
© The truth thou wilt impart,
May we with firmness own;
Abhorring each evasive art,
And fearing thee alone.
2. V rae BAPTISM. C. M..
1 Lo! on the water’s brink we stand,

In this the latter day.
3 Thou wilt accept our humble pray’r,
And all our sins forgive ;
For Jesus is the sinner’s friend,
He died that we might live.
4 We lay our sinful bodies now
Beneath the opening waves
Then rise to life divinely new,
As from the bursting grave.
5 So whenthe trump of God shall blow,
The saints shall burst the tomb,
Immortal beauty crown their brow
With an immortal bloom.

Let mutual love be found;

With mutual blessings crowned.

XXX FUTURE GLORY. P.M.
1 Brieut scenes of glory-strike my sense,
And all my passions capture,
Ecstatic beauties round me shine,
Inducing highest rapture.
I live in pleasures deep and full,
In swelling waves of glory ;
And feel my Savior in my Soul,
And glad to tell my story.
2 I feast on honey, milk, and wine,
‘I drink perpetual sweetness ;
Mount Zion’s beauties round me shine,
While Christ unfolds his glory !
No mortal tongue can show my joys,
Nor can an angel tell them ;
Ten thousand times surpassing all
Terrestial worlds or emblems.
3 My resurrected body flies °
Through shining worlds of beauty,
Dissolv’d in blushes, loud I cry,
In praises loud and mighty ;
_ And here Pll sing and swell the strain
Of harmony delighted ;
And with the risen learn the notes
Of saints in Christ united.
XXXI DISMISSION. 8s, 7s & 4s.

Fill our hearts with joy and peace ;
Let us, each thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace :
Oh refresh us,
‘Travelling through this wilderness.
* 2 Thanks we give, and adoration,
For thy gospel’s joyful sound ;
May the fruits of thy salvation
in our hearts and lives abound !
_ May thy presence
With us evermore be found !

Us from earth to call away—
Borne on angel’s wings te heaven,
Glad the summons to obey—
May we ever
Reign with Christ in endless day *

Descending from the sky,

And makes the remnant known—
Of nations long aince dead,
Who once had dwelt alone ;
The fulness of the Gospel, too,
Its pages will reveal to view.
4 The time is now fulfilled—
The long expected day—
Let earth obedient yield,
And darkness flee away :
Open the seals, and wide unfurl
Its light and glory to the world.

Shall now be gathered home ;
Their wealth and main employ,
To build Jerusalem:
While Zion shall arise and shine,’
And fill the earth with truth divine. ‘

LIV LATTER DAY WORK. 7s. & OS.
1 Come all ye sons of Zion,
And let us praise the Lord :
His ransom’d are returning,
According to his word.
In sacred songs, and gladness,
They walk the narrow way,
And thank the Lord who bro’t them
To see the latter day.
2 Come, ye dispers’d of Judah,
Join in the theme, and sing
With harmony unceasing,
The praises of your King:
Whose arm is now extended
(On which the world may gaze)
80
To gather up the righteous,
In these, the latter days.
3 Rejoice, rejoice O Israel !
And let your joys abound ;
The voice of God shall reach you,
Wherever you are found ;
And call you back from bondage,
That you may sing his praise
In Zion and Jerusalem
In these, the latter days.
4 Then gather up for Zion,
Ye saints, throughout the land,
And clear the way before you,
As God shall give command: — «
Tho’ wicked men and devils -
Exert their pow’r, ’tis vain,
Since him who is Kternal
Has said you shal! obtain,
LV POWER OF FAITH. L. M.
\ We read that faith th’ assurance ts
Of things the Lord is pleas’d to give,
81
if saints will ask-in Jesus’ name, |
The blessings ask’d they may obtain.
2 By faith Jehovah fram’d the world,
And many wonders yet untold, |
In ancient days, by faith were wrought,
By men who sought the law of God.
3 By faith an Enoch sought the Lord ;
‘By faith obtain’d a just reward;
‘By faith beheld his maker’s face,
And triumph’d o’er the powers of death.
4 By faith Elijah rais’d the dead ;
And for three years the prophet said,
It should not rain in all the land ;
"T'was done by Jesus’ great command.
5 By faith a Joshua could say,
‘Stand still thou glorious king of day, —
| Thou splendid orb of night be still
MPHIL Jehovah’s word fulfill
“6° By faith the walls of Jericho
Met with.a dreadful overthrow ;
89
For Israel trusted insthe Lord,
Believed he would fulfill his word.
7 But time would fail, the scripture saith,
To mention all who liv’d by faith:
Some quench’d the violence of fire,
And others waxed strong in war.
8 While some were mock’d, and scourg’d,
, and ston’d,
- Some for the gospel lost their homes $
Others were in the prison shut;
They kept the faith, denied it not.
9° And many wander’d to and fro
As pilgrims on the earth below,
Knowing that they their Lord would see
On Zion’s mount from bondage free.
10 By faith ge Jordan’s wave was
— stay’d ; |
In years to come the Lord hath male.
He will roll back the mighty flood,
Israel pass through the sea dry shod.

11 Remember, saints, the scripture saith,
The Lord doth work only by faith
Among the sons of men below,
By faith he doth his wonders show.
12 O then ye saints of latter days,
Come, let us study wisdom’s ways,
_ Shake off the pow’r of carnal sloth,
Obtain this glorious living faith.
13 Help us, O Lord, to fear thy name,
Help us this mighty faith to gain; |
That we with ancient saints may stand,
When Christ shall reign on Zion’s land.
14 Then let our faith and works agree,
Until from all our sins we’re free ;
O, may we practice peace and truth,
That we may dwell with Christ on earth.
LVI creation AND REDEMPTION. C.M.

Before the world began; — :
Or ever had the power of God

4 He viewed our race in depths of gin,
Jo‘ ruin and ‘in death,
Before creation form’d us men,
Or nature gave us breath.
5 That man might know his maker, God,
The scheme of heaven was laid ;
That we through sin and death might be
Exalted to our head.

Might through this means be saved.

With paedon and with grace $
To sanctify our sin and wo,
And then their reign must cease.
9 That man might know what Jesus knew,
Came evil and came good ;
The evil first, man’s heart must feel,
"And then the blessing could.

‘in Adam all were bound ;
But now in Christ our second head,
‘The Jaw of life is found.

And all that sin and hell can do,
Will fit us more for heaven.
12 Rejoice ye saints » Tejoice in hope,
No fears have you to dread ;
For Christ will conquer sin and death,
And raise you with your head.

To gather his sheep,
And plant them in Zion, in love 3.
For why in the valley
Of death should they weep,
Or alone in the wilderness rove ?

As stranyers in sin,
And erted in the desert for thee!
Our foes have rejoic’d

Good tidings for us :
The tokens already appear ;
Fear not and be just,
For the kingdom is ours,
And the hour of redemption is near.

That many have sousht for so long,
We know that we know,
For the spirit of Christ
Tells his servants they cannot be wrong.

LXIW FREE WILL. L. M.
1 Know then that every soul is free,
To choose his life and what he’ll be;
For this eternal truth is given,
That God will force no man to heaven.
2 He'll call, persuade, direct him rght,
Meds him with wisdom, Jove and light;
In nameless ways be good and kind,
But never force the human mind.
3. Freedom and reason make us men ;
Take these away, what are we then ?
Mere animals, and just as well,
The beast may think of heaven or hell.
4. May we no more our pow’rs abuse,
But ways of truth and goodness choose ;
-Our God is pleas’d when we improve
“His grace, and seek his perfect love.
B Those that despise, grow harder still ;
Those that adhere, he turns their will :
94
And thus despisers sink to hell,
While those that hear in glory dwell.
6 But if we take the downward road,
And make in hell our last abode ;
Our God is clear, and we shall know,
We’ve plung’d ourselves in endless wo. |

And hasten on the year.

His truth sustain, his pow’r make known,
And fill the world with fear.

CX THE PRIESTHOOD. 8s. 78. & 4&
1 Men of God, go, take your stations ;
Darkness reigns throughout the earth ;
Go proclaim among the nations,
Joyful news of heavenly birth ;
Bear the tidings
Of the Savior’s matchless worth.
2 What though earth and hell, united,
Should oppose the Savior’s plan?
Plead his cause, nor be affrighted :
Fear ye not the face of man:
i am enn “ “ie < ‘ k
Vain their tumult,
Stop his work they never can.
3 When exposed to fearful dangers,
Jesus will his own defend :
Borne afar midst foes and strangers,
Jesus will appear your friend :
And his presence
Shall be with you to the end.
CXIV _ RESURRECTION, L. M.
1 Hair to the Prince of life and peace,
Who holds the keys of death and hell !
The spacious world unseen in his,
The sov’reign pow’r becomes him well.
2 In shame and torment once he died:
But now he lives forevermore :
Bow down, you saints, around his seat,
And all you angel bands adore.
3 Live, live forever, glorious Lord,
To crush thy foes and guard thy friends,
ao nam lt ee ae earn ti
159
While all thy chosen tribes rejoice,
That thy dominion never ends.
4 Worthy thy hand to hold the keys,
Guided by wisdom and by love;
Worthy to rule our mortal lives,
O’er worlds below and worlds above. .
5 When death thy servants shall invade,
When powers of hell thy church annoy ;
Controll’d by thee, their rage shall help
The cause they laber to destroy.
6 Forever reign, victorious King!
Wide through the earth thy name be
known,
And call our longing souls to sing
Suolimer anthems near thy throne.
CXV MESSENGERS. 88. & 78s
i Go, ye messengers of heaven,
Chosen by divine commane ;
Go and publish free salvation,
To a dark benighted land,
2 Go to island, sea, and mountain,
To fulfill the great command ;
Gather out the sons of Jacob, |
To possess the.promis’d land.
3 When your thousands all are gather’d
And their pray’rs for you ascend,
And the Lord has crown’d with blessings
All the labors of your hand,
4 Then the song of joy and transport,
Will from every land resound,
Then the heathen, long in darkness,
By their Savior will be crown’d.

CXVI LATTER DAYS: j ee,
1 My soul, with, sacred joy: survey
The glories of the iat ter day ;
Its dawn already seems s:heguny
@
Sure earnest.of slinis ia aingeat
8 The friends of truth assembled stand,
A chosen, consecrated band,
The standard of the cross display,
And ery aloud, ‘‘ Behold the way.”
3. «« Behold the way to Zion’s hill,
Where Israel’s God delights to dwell,
He fixes there his lofty throne,
And calls the sacred’ place his own.
) 4. ** Behold the way,” Ye heralds ery ;
Spare not, but lift your voices high ;
Convey. the sound from shore to shore;
And bid the captive sigh ne more.
5 Swift on the wings of heavenly zeal
They fly, nor seem the toil to feel ;
But faithful to their Master’s will,
The sacred embassy fulfill.
6 The north givessup, the south no more
Keeps back her consecrated’ store’;
From east to west the message runs,
And either India. yields: her 80nd.

7 Auspicious dawn, thy rising ray
With joy I view, and hail the day :
Thou sun arise supremely bright,
And fill the world with purest light.
CXVII praise. C. M.
1 Lut every tongue thy goodness speak,
Thou sov’reign Lord of all,
Thy strength’ning hands uphold the weak
And raise the poor that fall.
% When sorrows bow the spirit down,
When virtue lies distress’d ;
Beneath the proud oppressor’s frown
Thou giv’st the mourner rest.
3 Thou know’st the pains thy servants
feel, :
Thou hear’st thy children’s cry ;
And their best wishes to fulfill
Thy grace is ever nigh.
4 Thy mercy never shall remove
‘From men of hearts sincere :
_ Eee
Thou sav’st the- souls whose humble love
Is join’d with holy fear.
5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise, -
And spread thy fame abroad; __
Let all the sons of Adam raise
The honors of their God.

if
1 Zion’s king shall reign victorious—
All the earth shall own his sway :
He will make his kingdom glorious:
He will reign through endless day!
What, though none on earth assist him ?
God requires not help from man!
What, though all the world resist him !
God will realize his plan.
2 Nations now from God estranged,
‘Then shall see a glorious light :
Night to day shall then be changed ,—
Heaven:shall triumph in the sight;
See the ancient idols falling ! =
Worship’d once, but now abhor’d ;
Men on Zion’s King are calling:
Zion’s King by all ador’d !
3 Then shall Israel, long dispersed,
Mourning seek the Lord their God,
Look on him whom they once pierced,
Own and kiss the chast’ning rod.
Then all Israel shall be saved,
War and tumult then shall cease 3
While the greater Son of David
Rules a conquer’d world in peace.
4 Mighty King, thine arm revealing, , |
Now thy glorious cause maintain, a
Bring the nations help and healing, |
Make them subject to thy reign! |
Angels in their lofty station
Praise thy name, thou only wise ;

Join thé triumph of the skies!

Ye heav’nly host, the song begin,
And sound his name abroad. —

And moon with paler rays ;
Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames,
Shine to your Maker’s praise.

And ever speak “s name.
